Abstract

A semiconductor package with a semiconductor chip having under bump metallizations (UBMs) on a first surface and a substrate having open vias. The substrate is attached to the semiconductor chip with the UBMs in alignment with the open vias. An encapsulant surrounds the semiconductor chip and the substrate and a conductor fills the open vias to form external package connections.

Claims (38)
